A PETITION.
BY B." B. C. /' »
My little boy about six years of age. brought me
yesterday, a “reward of merit" from his Teacher,
aud said “Little Mamma,” keep my ticket for me,
aud if I ask God every night to make me good I’ll
get another next week, wont I ?
Oh Mamma! (and he gently came and. nestled at
my side),
Dear Mamma keep my ticket, and be very sure
you hide .
It where no old naughty finger can find it to
destroy,
—And his arms were clasped around me—My gen
tle, noble, Boy!
And Mamma, little Mamma, (and his voice to
whispers grew),
If I’ll be good to Johnnie, to my Papa and to
you;
If I’ll “notice little Sister” and ’member ’bout
my hat
Will I get another ticket, say Mamma, just like
that?
If I’ll say “now I lay me down” slow, and al
. ways let
My Brother have the nicest place, and kiss you
’fore I get
In my trundle, near the cradle where little Sister
lies,
Will I get another ticket if I’mgood ? Yon know
I tries!
As I clasped him to my bosom, the tears my
eyelids wet,
I told my Boy of Jesus, and I bade him ne’er
forget
That He loves good little children. Pray Darling
while He's near,
Ask him to make you “good,” my child, He
turns no dcaf’ning ear.
Father, I tremble often as I meet these earnest
eyes,
Though the burthen’s “sweet” ’tis “heavy,” to
nurture such a prize
As this fair, pure, spotless child, I must pure aud
spotless be,
Help me Father, that I bring it unpolluted nnto
Thee!
“God who gavest to my guiding hand this wan
d’rer” to lead
Through paths that oft* are lone mid dark, where
feet so often bleed,
Bruised and pierced by cruel thorns, O leave me
not alone j, r j* .
To guide him to those gates of pearl. Thou, he.,
most lean upon !

FORNEY’S LAST FORGERY.
Card from Howell Cobb.
From the Savannah News, 12th. J
Under this heading the New York
World publishes a communication from
the late General Howell Cobb —perhaps
the last words he ever wrote for the press
—-vindicating himself from a most foul
and malicious slander concocted by that
vile falsifier, miscreant add pimp, John
W. Forney. In Georgia the character of
Howell Cobb neeJs no defence from
charges of inhumanity and uncharitable
ueas, such as those alleged by the base
creature who scruples at no villainy, no
falsehood, to ruin the character of an in
nocent woman, or to blacken the reputa
tion of apolitical opponent. But the ref
utation of the slander will he read with
interest, as being among tbe last words of
one Whose noble attributes of character
were so well known,whose private and pub
lic worth was so sincerely appreciated, and
whose memory will be Jong and warmly
cherished by the Southern people.
The infamous slander against Mr. Cobb
was put forth in the shape of a letter pur
porting to have been written by one of the
‘-Brigade of Death” which recently fig
pretended survivor of Andersonvllle.' In
the course of this letter, with many other
statements equally as false and revolting,
the writer gives the story of a young mau
by the name of Cabei, a native of Florida,
who. at the time of the breaking out of
the war, was a clerk ia one of the Depart
ments in Washington, and Who volun
teered in the Federal service; was after
wards captured in Virginia and sent to the
military prison at Andersonville. This
young *n*n was, of course, most barba
rously treated, and rapidly sunk under his
accumulated wrougs and privations. He
was in a very low state of health and on
the verge of despair when Gen. Cobb vis
ited the stockade. The writer says;
was within the vicinity of the prLuu, and
would soorj is! t the pi ace, hiff|gMWere
said; “ I know that he will remember me,
and get me exchanged or get me free.”
with my assistance, mustered, stungl*
enough to appear before him. At first
Mr. Cobb paid but little attention to him,
but when he mentioned to Cobb of his
(CabnFe) brother being formerly a member
of Congress from Florida, then it was that
Howell Cobb proved tbe human demon.
Again scrutinizing young Cab#!, he skid :
“Oh! yea, I know you, and know about
ean only wish that your brother were here
to share your lot.” Young Cabei seemed
to stagger under these cruel remarks, and
not try to get him free; could brnot. at
least, do something to mitigate bis sutler
logs—he showed Mr. Cobb bis emaciated
arms and body—the dreadful sores upon
his feet as they seemed ready to drop from
Cabef,Tw S*do
▼on malms you will renounce your allegi
ance to the United States Government,
and, as soon as you are able, join tne Con
federate ranks—as you are Southern born,
sSSSSSSSSi?£
glass.e/ssui:
this is asking too much of me, and
sassasHS
desert the flag I was born under and
God to defend Oh! no Mr
Cobb. dk> not ask so much of me. And let
me asjkyoa, Mr. Cobb, If you were a pris
mierlS the Untou lines, and such oropo-
Sittons weas offered you, what would you
6»yif but before Cabei could finish tbe
Sentence, Cobb, in a pompous manner,
said: “ W hat would I say ? Why, if the
United States Government, under such
oireurostanees, were to offer me not only
Mbkrty, but fame and power, I would say
dig a hole large enough to contain me and
my family, and before I would swear alle
giance to the United States Government I
would take my family by the hand and
walk into the bole, and be buried from
sight forever.” These are his exact words,
not only heard by myself, but by many
«er poor creatures that were listening,
I talked over in many a gloomy oirole.
er Mr. Cobb had finished his supposed
brave remarks, he turnedaway to leave for
another portion of the yard, and poor Cabei
went back to our little cave and threw him
self upon the ground, completely over
whelmed in grief and despair ; spoke only
of the “cruelty of Mr. Cobb, how little hH&
expected it,” etc.
The harrowing story goes on to relate
bow, after one more attempt of the young
man to crave the merciful interposition of
General Cobb, when he was ruthlessly
thrust aside by one of the guard; he crawl
ed to his cave and died—“by 9 o’clock the
next morning the only thing of that dear
young boy' was thrown into the dead
cart.”
The following is Gen. Cobb’* letter:
New York, Oot. 3,1868.
To the Editor Os the World :
A friend has Just placed in my hands
what purports to be a speech of Mr. John
W. Forney, of Philadelphia, and I ask a
place in your columns to notice a state
ment made in reference to myeelf which I
cannot permit to pass uncontradicted.
Mr. Forney read as a part of his speech,
and gave to the country with his indorse
ment the following letter, as I find it in
his published remarks:
{Here follows the forged letter in full,
signed “T. E. Davis, late 48th Regt. N. Y.
8. Volunteers.]
Gen. Cobb continues:
I desire, in the most emphatic and un
conditional manner, to pronounce the
statements of this letter, so far as they
refer to myself, an unmitigated fabrication
from beginning to the end. There is not
the slightest pretext upon which it can
rest. Neither to this Mr. Cabei, nor any
other prisoner at Audersonville or else
where, did I ever use the language im
puted to me, or anything at all resembling
it. No one who knows me will credit the
charge for a moment. It is not my nature
or disposition to treat anybody—much less
a helpless prisoner—in a manner so cruel
and unfeeling. John W. Forney knows
me, aud he knew at the time he publish
ed this letter to the world that its state
ments were not, could not be true. I
make this unequivocal denial to protect
my name in the estimation of those who,
unlike Mr. Forney, do' not know me.
Whatever else may be said of me, cruelty
or unkiudness to prisoners can in no in
stance be charged against me.
On the contrary, I can say with truth
that during the war no prisoner ever made
a request of me, which it was in power to
grant, that was not prom ply responded to,
and there are those in Mr. Forney’s own
State who will bear testimony to the fact.
Allow me to add that the statements in
this letter bear internal evidence of their
falsity. Mr. Cabei, the former member of
Congress, whom I am made to denounce
as a traitor, <fcc., was my personal friend,
and was with the South during the whole
war, and in the Confederate army at its
close. If he ever bad a brother in the
Federal army I never heard of it.
The Audersonville prison was never in
my command nor under my control, but
the-guard employed Uujye was detailed
from my troops, and this occasioned the
from’a
prisoner by the name of Cable, frorii Ohio,
that he desired to see me. I applied to the
commandant of the prison to have pirn
brought out of the prison to the quarters I
was occupying for the day. The request
was promptly complied with, and I had
an interview with Mr. Cabei, who was
quite an intelligent man, which lasted for
the close of it Ml Cabei expressed to me
his thanks sot the manner in which ! re
ceived and treated him. The only request
made of me that 1 had the power to grant
was promply granted, and he appreciated
it, as he did my whole conduct and bfear
iug towards him in the spirit of kindness*
which dictated it. I have no wish to ex
tend this communication by any com
ments. .. yYYHry£*'»f LIFL >
Howell Cobb.
P. S.—Siuce writing the above, I have
casually met with Mr. Cabei, formerly of
Florida, who expressed the greatest sur
he had no brother or near relative in the
Federal army that he knows of.
LY THE BOWL. .«* '
An old chap in Connecticut, who was
one of the most niggardly men in that part
of the country* carried on the blacksmith
ing business very extensively, and also
boarded all his own bauds. And to show
how he envied the men wh »t they ate, lie
would always have a bowl of bean soup
disced up for himself to cool, while that
for the lmn(ft‘was served up In a large pan
just from the boiling pot. The fellow had
an apprentice who was very unlucky
among the hot irons, frequently burning
h|s fingers. The old man scolded him se
verely one day for being so careless.
“How can I tell if they are hot unless
they are red ” said the hoy.
“Never touch anything again until you
spit on it; fef it don’t his* it won’t burn-”
In a day of two the marisent the boy in
to see If fils soup was cool. The boy went
in—spit in t£§ bowl, and of course the
soup did not hfos. So he went back aod

SCENE at A CINCINNATI HORSE AUCTION.
Auctioneer on the block shouts, “Bring
forth the horse!” Enter two attendants,
leading, or more properly supporting, a
dilapidated equine specimen, to weed aud
emaciated to possibly walk iu without
assistance. He lias a head like a bass viol,
his backbone is to sharp for even
chickens to roost on, and not hairs enough
in his tail to make a fiddle bow. There
are bunches big as watermelons on his
knees, and gutters down his sides to carry
oil'the rain water. ■..-**% wry *s-su
Auctioneer—“ Ah ! gentlemen, here we
have a fine specimen of that noble animal,
the horse. I sometimes think thrt the
horse is in a way related to man. [By
stander —‘This horse is a devilish poor re
lation.’] Talk of the sagacity of the dog,
that of the horse far surpasses it. Look
at him* See how he pleads for sympathy.
[Bystander—‘Pleads for oats, more like.]
What shall I hear for this noble animal?
[Rudeboy—‘Hear the bells tolling in a
day or two.’] A direct descendant from
Bucephalus; he was sired by Lexington,
Kentucky, aud darned by [Bystander—
‘Everybody that has owned him’] his
maternal ancestor. Come, gentlemen,
make a bid. If you want a family horse,
of a gentle and affectionate disposition, not
disposed to run away, [Bj slander—‘Or
walk away either,’] this is your animal.—
Any gentleman, by leaving a deposit of
five dollars for security against fast' driv
ing, is welcome to take and try him. —
[Bystander—‘For soap grease?’] He is
warranted not to pull when hitched in the
stable, [Hostler —‘Or when hitched in the
wagon,’] aud can go single or double.—
[Bystander—‘He would go better with a
horse on each side of him to hold him up,’]
Gentlemen, do I hear an offer.? If you
don’t want him now, you could easily dis
pose of him for a cavalry horse in the next
war. He may be considered the ne plus
ultra of a horse. [Bystander—‘Yes the
knock-nee plus ultra.’] —What ami offer
ed ?”
A Voice—“ Seventy-five cents.”
Auctioneer—“ Sold!”
The bidder cries “sold,” and then all
the people raise up their voices aria cry
“sold” also. —Cincinnati Times
Disastrous Effects of the Late
Rains and Floods Upon the Rice Crop.
—We learn that the recent heavy raius f
and the floods in the rivers and creeks
consequent thereon, have had a very dis
astrous effect upon the rice crops. A few
weeks ago it was thought that the crop
would be very heavy this season; but
within the week just past one-third of the
crop raised along the Savannah, Ogeechee
and Altamaha rivers has been destroyed ;
and the floods are not yet over This will
materially lessen the estimates which
have.been formed of the amount of rice
which would be raised this year.
The amount of damage done has been
carefully calculated. It is placed very
low, perhaps, as the destruction is going
on every day now. The floods have been
greater this year than they have beeu
known to be for many years, and the
damage they have done thus lar is very
great. We hope that the rice planters will
come off better than they anticipate, but
things look gloomy at present. —Savannah
